I Don't Want To Seem Ungrateful But...
I think I've mentioned before how lucky I am to live on a planet that's bursting at the seams with brain surgeons and rocket scientists. They are everywhere and I'm completely surrounded by them all the time. It's awesome because I don't have to do any thinking of my own at all. For the really big things, I have people like Dr. Phil and President Bush. And for the smaller things, I have people like my boss, Putz "Shorty" McWorthless (Sad note about Putz, he's in the process of losing his job but don't worry about him because just as soon as he learns to say, "Would you like fries with that?" he has a whole new career waiting for him).

And the best part is that the ones that I personally have contact with, the Putz's in my little world, are always giving me advice. I don't even have to ask for it. They just automatically give it. Invaluable advice such as, "You ought to get that fixed, (Which is what nearly everyone says when they see something broken and I don't know what I would do without them)," and "You should join the military. It'll be the best thing in the world for you (OK, I haven't heard that one in over 20 years now but it is still one of my favorites)."

And then there's economic advice, like, "Take out a big home equity loan. They'll give you tons of money and there's no risk. They don't want your house. They just say that to scare away the dumb people." I haven't heard that one much since foreclosures started hitting record levels but since the ads for easy risk free money have started coming back, I'm sure I'll be hearing it again.

And so it goes, on and on in every subject...Oh, I forgot two more of my favorites..."You should get married," and "You should take anti-depressives---No! It's not getting high! It's not like that at all! It's just artificially altering your brain chemistry with drugs to feel better!"...and I benefit greatly from it. Where would I be if I didn't have so many smart people telling me what to do all the time?

So I don't want to sound ungrateful here but I do want to ask the people who run the State Of Nevada one question and I don't want to seem out of line or worse, sound like I think I know more than all the geniuses who run everything here (And generously share their giant intelects with me) and I hope it isn't taken that way. So, with all due respect, why didn't you people who run Nevada think of this first?:

Unlike Massachusetts, which legalized same-sex marriage in 2004, California has no residency requirement for marriage licenses, which is expected to encourage a large number of couples to head west to wed.

And why didn't you think of it in 1930 or whenever you turned quick easy marriages and divorces into an industry? I know you have a lot to do, what with all the mining and gaming and um......mining and gaming going on there but you should really look into this.

You've already infuriated the rest of the country by pioneering sin for profit and stayed well ahead of everyone else...yeah, you can go to casinos anywhere now but are you going to find a legal brothel in Alabama or 24 hour liquor service in Indiana? Not likely.

But now you're seriously slipping. Don't let California stay ahead of you. Legalize gay marriage today. And then try to export those legal brothel and 24 hour liquor service ideas to the rest of the country. And would it kill you to to send a few 99 cent shrimp cocktails and some $3.99 all you can eat prime rib buffets, too?
